    Rooster feed

    Yes they've got plenty of oyster shells and their egg shells washed and crunched back up for their taking!! So it's best to stick with grower?! The only grower I can get in stores is starter & grower medicated is that sufficient?

    Rooster feed

    I've switched all my girls over to Layer Crumbles. Is it okay that my Rooster eats this as well? This is their only feed, other than treats and what they find while free ranging.

    Skinny chicken.

    I've got 3 Isa Browns, they are all laying at this point. I believe the one in question isn't as consistent as the other two, Shadow. She just doesn't seems as wide as the other girls. My other two are nice and fluffy, wide, and Blondie produces the largest eggs of the three. Shadow, the one I'm...

    Egglaying Help!

    Our Isa Brown Shadow started laying Monday of this week. Her first two eggs were great! We have yet to crack them open thought. Anyhow, yesterday and today she has been laying these "rubber" type eggs that are busted open when we got to check for eggs. I added oyster shells into their coop and...

    Layer Pellets: HOW?

    So by adding the oyster shells I am adding calcium?! And that is all I need to do?

    Layer Pellets: HOW?

    So we shouldn't really worry much about switching their food until all are laying? That puts me more at ease. And do you recommend grinding egg shells too? I've been saving a few already that I've got on hand. What about our Rooster?! Will he be okay?

    Layer Pellets: HOW?

    Today was the day! we got our first egg! Shadow, our most vocal hen laid her first egg today, she is thought to be 18 weeks this coming weekend so I believe we are right on schedule. Now comes the tricky part. I've been quite dreading this part because it is of thee unknown to me. How do we get...

    Should I not give her food through the night?

    Escaping Rooster

    How do you clip their wings? Is that something only a vet could do. Because he will not even let us touch him. He runs from us.

    I haven't seen any blood in any droppings and I wouldn't necessarily call it being lethargic, just kind of keeping to herself. But I don't want to underestimate the matter. We do have a local vet, I'm just worried about how to get her there. Have you ever transported your chicken?

    Escaping Rooster

    My Rooster is an escape artist. We don't know how he is getting out of the run but I'm pretty sure he is flying out. He goes after any bird that flys in or around the run. The coop itself is covered but the run surrounding it is not. Almost every other day I come home after work and he is just...

    Oh wow. They have only ever eating medicated food, I thought that was the whole purpose was to feed them that so they wouldn't get coccidiosis. I have never wormed her. Can you get all of these supplies from a local supply shop. Like where we originally bought them as chicks? Thanks for...

    May be sick, may be nothing at all.

    My Isa Brown is about 15 weeks old She has been acting kind of weird the last couple of days. She is normally the most social and active hen on the flock, she comes running when I walk up to their run/coop area. But she has been keeping to herself and sleeping a lot. She's the first to go to...
